Chatbox II: The Rebirth

I don't know...I think I might have an idea...but I don't know if its right or even makes sense...it seems kinda stupid...

 

So, I just popped into someone's profile who seems to be having a b-day today to ask if their screen name is a Kate Bush reference only to find that they are a phantom member. How many good screen names must be used up by the phantom ones?

 

Hah. My granddad is a persistent smoker and refuses to quit, so sometimes I'll admit I'm a little mean. Like, when we're in a restaurant and he steps outside for a smoke, then finds a "THANK YOU FOR NOT SMOKING" sign sitting in front of his plate when he returns.

Then, when he moves that one away, another one MAGICALLY appears in its place!

 

yay speedy!!!

actually i've never seen that, though my best friend keeps saying I have to

 

but I don't know if its right or even makes sense...it seems kinda stupid.


Oh my god Yellow i just wrote this whole piece in my novel (Conversation) about how nothing is stupid (Just because you think it makes no sense). Thats its always best to express how you feel and let others be the judge

wow (Your going what, what the hell are you talking about speedy!)

And now your saying that....i got gooseflesh, lol.

 

I'll admit I'm a little on the confused side...

 

I was a chronic smoker when i used to go out to resturants with family.

You have every right to be a pest, its one of the rudest things you can do (go for a smoke every 15 minutes cause your bored etc)

Yay for you Xeno!

 

My main character in my novel is having a crisis. He has to do something, but its a feeling he has rather then clearly obvious, but he doesnt want to take action and do what he thinks he should do, because it makes no sense and he thinks it is stupid.

Which is why what you said, was almost remindingme of that.

 

Way back in the day, when I used to drink, and I had an arse-h*le for a boyfriend, we used to go to Chilis every Wednesday for happy hour with some other friends. I didn't smoke at the time, so every 20 minutes they would pick up and leave me at the table with like twenty drinks in front of me to go and smoke. I would feel so awkward as everyone would look at me, alone, with my twenty drinks....

 

oh ok makes sense now

 

Believe it or not Wrey, Chilis is one of the places we would always go!

Sorry about those times though Wrey... its a pathatic thing smokers just do, because well...when your smoke is your best friend, nothing else matters.

 

Comeon - out with it girl.

 

Kind of Hamlet-esque?

 

I think...I think maybe i have some weird deep seated fear of vulnerability...it sound stupid I know...

 

More of a string for my to use on my Main Character (Make him think, he think he knows what he feels then while he tries to find what he thinks his after, you throw in a curve balll and he see's everytihng else in a new colour.)

 

I got over it....... I started smoking menthol lites. :redface:

Someone else could babysit the 20 drinks and look like they needed an intervention.

 

good thing you stopped, and influenced others to stop too. My Grandma used to smoke, it took her having a mini storke to give her the drive to truly give it up. She had been trying for years, but had never managed it. It wasn;t a true stroke so it left no lasting damage or anything, thankfully, but it did scare her enough to stop which has been a wonderful thing for all of us. So good job

 

You know i would never pick on you.

But why do you think its stupid, or we would think its stupid.

*Hugs*

You`re an individual Yellow, one who can think and say whatever you please. Nothing is nor should be seen as stupid in my opinion. Most certainly on this issue. Far from stupid.

 

Excellent - perhaps a bit Hitchkock-ian?

*Speedy slams palm of hand into his forehead wondering why Doug can't accept that maybe it's just pure Speedy-ian?*

 

I smoked them for a while. I thought they would help me quit. I smoked twice as much and they would inflame my throat like a mother -

I'm glad she is well.

The advetisement got to me. I didnt want that lung disease where you cant breath and it gets worse and worse (That scared the hell out of me) Plus, as silly as it sounds, smoking is really out of favour these days it feels. Really started feeling like an outcast.

 

Decades ago, I smoked a pipe, and the occasional cigar. I never could stand cigarettes. I quit all tobacco products over thirty years ago, and have not been tempted to resume the habit.

 

haha, no no. All is good and fun

Put a lot of King in there.

With no Dark Tower, i wouldnt be so into wanting to write such an adventure myself. (FOr him it was Lord of the rings, bringing what he made. And for me it is his work that makes me want to make what i am trying - i like the romantic nature of it) Funny as it sounds.

 

thanks

*hugs back*

it just seems like such a stupid thing to be scared of, and it totally doesn't fit in with what i want in life so it doens't make sense to me why it would be there if it was.

It's just I tend to create characters for stories with certain traits, and often times I find myself subconciously puttin my own traits or traits that I wish i had into them, and that fear is one that I tend to use alot. And then there are more real things like I refuse to let anyone see me cry even if I know they know i'm crying; and for the most part I'm an extremelt talkative person who wears their heart on their sleeve half the time but I'm very good at hiding my emotions when they are bad and it scares me ****less everytime I like a guy and I always think of it as a bad thing even though I shouldn't specifically think of it that way...I don't even have really good reasons for thinking this...it's just and idea i have....

 

Once you get past that stupid thing called addiction, you just cant. The ideais twice as stupid (smoking) then those who have never even had one (God bless them).

I actually held one a month ago. I was never ever going to try it, but i was out and wanted to feel it.

It was almost Alien-like to the touch. Which makes me smile inside.

 

I'm with you there. Just the idea makes one corner of my upper lip draw up involuntarily with that unmistakeably grody feeling. Blech! :redface:
